    Why can't I turn on "connected home" lights in Cortana using the PC keyboard?


    I can say "Hey Cortana, turn on den lights" and it works fine. But I can't open Cortana and TYPE "turn on den lights". If I do that, it tries to search the web for it.

    Keyboard lights

    1. Did you mean the keyboard backlight or indicator lights (i.e. Num Lock)?
    2. If your problem is about indicator lights, are you using a external keyboard?

    --KEYBOARD BACKLIGHT--

    Consult your laptop's manual downloaded from the internet. You might want to install some drivers in order to use the backlight.

    --INDICATOR LIGHT--

    1. LAPTOP KEYBOARD
      • If indicator light, try pressing the Caps Lock key and see if the caps lock light turned on. Same process for Scroll and Num lock.
      • Some laptops may show the "Caps Lock ON" in your laptop screen.
    2. EXTERNAL KEYBOARD (EITHER USB OR BLUETOOTH)
      • When you use the external keyboard, locate the "Caps Lock" key indicator light. Try pressing the "Caps Lock" and make sure if it is turned on. Same process for Scroll and Num Lock.

    If these are not working, try installing or updating the drivers. You'll need to restart after installing.

    Why can't I turn on "connected home" lights in Cortana using the PC keyboard?

    Lights on when PC is turned off


    Hi,

    I have a mouse and keyboard that have RGB lights. When I turn off my computer the lights stay on the keyboard and mouse (this happens when they are connected to the back of the computer, straight into the motherboard....

    So I tried plugging them into the top front of the pc and the color lights don't come on.


    Does this mean there's a problem with my motherboard?.

    thanks.
